No dice on that Combo Breaker there sev0sev, can't break out of a Ultra Combo starter :mrgreen:
And with that said it appears Microsoft and Fox have come to terms and have signed a Trademark Coexistence Agreement allowing Microsoft to use the "Killer Instinct" name.

Oh and SUPREME VICTORY!!! :twisted:

I look forward to a re-release or a new Killer Instinct! Maybe I will finally have the patience to beat Combo... I hate fighting him.

Yeah this games looks pretty sweet, and is obviously better than MS's other (somehow) exclusive fighting series DoA, but I think it comes a bit late in the party of the revival of the fighting genre to sell consoles.

Also seeing old Rare IPs on non-Nintendo hardware just feels wrong somehow :(

Really!? I think its quite the opposite really. This So-Called revival is still in full gear with games like GGXrd, and a New Jojo's game to set to release. I Think its a perfect time.
But yeah, It looks real good. The effects look really impressive and the pacing looks dead on. The animations also look real good too, putting NRS to shame.

More news incoming about the newest entry in the much anticipated KI series. Looks like the game is being co-developed by Rare alongside Double Helix games. Didn't see that coming, DHG i mean.
